Obrigado, MaryAnn -- although I should correct one error I made (I blame the late hour and having just been writing about some other political leaders): I referred to the "prime minister" of the Azores, but the chief executive, the Azorean head of government, is in fact termed the "president"

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Why migrate to the Azores?

David, Thank you for a great explanation about the capital of the Azores. Off the subject, while pursuing my ancestry on Sao Miguel, I did run into a few Lourenco's in Vila Franca. I am not currently at home, but can send you the info if you are interested when I return in the next few days.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Why migrate to the Azores?

Very interesting post, David. I knew some of that, but there's a lot of new info in there. Thanks. I still don't totally understand how "autonomous" the Azores government is from Portugal. In what ways is that autonomy enacted in the present day? Or is this something similar to State

The identity of the capital of the Azores is actually an interesting question, with an answer different than most people expect, I think... The capital is neither Angra nor Ponta Delgada. The Azores do not have an official capital, even though nowadays Ponta Delgada is often called the

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Why migrate to the Azores?

Many are signing with the cross, which pretty much looks like a +. The Azores were basically discovered from east to west. Yes, Santa Maria was the first (Wikipedia says 1439 was settlement) and Sao Miguel was the 1440s. Terceira was third (the translation of Terceira is Third). It was originally

(Cheri: I don't know if this should b a new thread on literacy of the early inhabitants on Santa Maria island. ). Last night I was going through the baptism records of Santo Espirito (NS de Purificacao) on Santa Maria in early 1700 ( the first island settled ?) and I noticed something that
